On Letting Go

On Letting Go

I’ve searched the world to find a light,
to keep and call my own
and when it’s caught, I’ll hold on tight:
No thought of letting go.

For years I’ve hunted without fail
when on a hopeless night
I glimpse the trace of a star’s trail.
I trap it without a fight.

My fingers grasp this immortal blaze,
never to be freed.
This conviction shall not be swayed,
no matter how the star might plead.

Light squeezes through my blackened hands
attempting to escape;
but it will stay while I grow old,
to be entombed with my fate.

Cows are to Burgers as Jesus is to Sins

A Short Poem in Which Our Compatibility is Illuminated

A happy meal comes with a prize
That’s chewy,
A disney tonic with a playground.

A dizzy tonic with a lime now.
That’s quicker.
Who’s got a gun, a moneymaker?

The greens in my salad are turning.
They’re wilted.
The roses- don’t pick ‘em. They’re fine.

You damn fine. Here’s my card;
I made it
Out of toons and chicken nuggets.

closure poem

still

rubbing

open sores—

they should have

healed by now…

urine soaked

bandages

try to give

me

your presence again.

this

negative reminder

still a testament

to the hook

you left in

my heart.

desperate to cut

a diamond tether

instead of

just unhooking

and swimming away..

..it’s been

time to let go, rose

Do I Sin?

Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image,




nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,




or that is in the earth beneath,




or that is in the water under the earth.



-Exodus 20:4 from American Standard Version


So tell me:

St. Peter

I lay at your steps awaiting salvation.
grant me that which i do not deserve.
The angels above cover those below
in mercy

My actions call for a rebirth
a change of pace
where do i belong
it is not here

My heart was created for centuries long passed
My spirit flows in from the future

What ties me here is the search for solace
To find the midpoint of my far stretching differences

This town is painted in so many colors
each street
each building
holds a passageway to worlds beyond our view
each doorway. window
a mirror we can choose to enter
do we decide to pull back the curtains and see where each path leads?

we will be explorers in to forgotten lands
let us travel
take step into each path and breathe in the fresh air
become ourselves.

Study in Movement

religion.

force feed me

candy coated

chaos

masked as salvation

so at least

the trip to hell

can taste

a little bit sweet
